**********************************************************************Grammy-winning singer Chris Brown teamed up with contemporary artist, Ron English, to launch Brown’s exclusive line of toys called “Dum English” earlier this week at the Toy Art Gallery in Los Angeles. Brown was happy to sign autographs and take pictures with fans as he premiered his newest business venture. Sketches and moldings of the collaborative designing process were also on display for the event. “Hands down right now my guy is Ron English,” said Brown. “Ron has to be the most creative, ‘out there’ artist I see. His work is so precise but at the same time so unorthodox. I think it’s incredible to be able to see him do what he does and be a fan.” It only takes a few dollar bills to get your hands on these little toys — $140 to be exact — however, all proceeds will go towards the Symphonic Love Foundation, which aims to provide support and funding for art programs for women and the artistic development of children. “Chris is one of the sweetest, most talented people I’ve ever met,” said English. “Working with Chris is like being a kid in a candy store. The ideas we come with are fun and colorful, young and daring.” Depending on the success of his 1,000 initial pieces, Brown plans to expand the “Dum English” brand with sneakers, clothing and more.**********************************************************************

When I get ma dream home, I want to have my whole living room wall to be painted of you. I've been planning it for a while, it's one of my biggest dreams.

You know how they tupac painted on different walls--that's what I want of you loool! O.O IDK I've always thought about it, but I'm definitely gonna go for it. I've been paying attention to the different pictures you take...and the quotes that you've preached. I'm still looking for the right picture of you and the right quotes or lyrics-- that means the most.

And I don't want to say this to scare you or make it seem as if I'm competing with others. I just have that much love and respect for you. I think it's just to the point that I feel like --your it, your the one, your my idol.

I can definitely tell you right now at this very moment is Whenever I have my dream home--the first thing I want people to see is my wall of you.I want people to look at my wall and just be amazed.

Drizzy... Baby, you may think that you know, but I bet on everything you have no idea of what you have REALLY DONE. I don't know if you really know....I mean do you really really really really really really know??????...

Just through your music....you have really changed my heart in so many ways and just for that I really want to say : THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

**********************************************************************Lupe Fiasco has announced that his next album, Food & Liquor 2, will be a double LP.

“I just wanted to kind of go back to the essence of what made that record so special with the frame of mind I was in with Food & Liquor the first time,” Lupe recently told Fuse. “The musicality that was on Food & Liquor that the original hardcore Lupe fans appreciate, we put it on the this record, but to the tenth power.”**********************************************************************

can anyone tell me what sample meek mills used on the track? i know that i heard it before... on either a kanye or luda track years ago... not quite sure. so yea, can anyone help me out here... where is this sample taken from???

**********************************************************************The Chi-town lyricist added the first single off the double album will be out on May 22 and that his early candidate for favorite track off the double-disc project is a song called, “Form Follows Function.”

“That is a monster,” said Fiasco of the track. “It’s a monster! Nobody is fucking with that. ‘Form Follows Function,’ rappers ain’t fucking with that. I’m not being egotistical or anything…it’s just you can’t fuck with that.”

Lupe dropped his debut album, the original Food & Liquor back in September 2006.

That LP included records like “I Gotcha,” “Daydreamin’” and “Kick, Push,” his ode to skateboarders.

He followed that with Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool in December 2007 and more recently, Lasers in March of last year.

That album included records such as “The Show Goes On,” “Words I Never Said,” and “Out of My Head.”

In a latter segment of his interview with Fuse, the Chicago rapper talks about being a vocal supporter of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Although he has a date in mind for the release of his single, Fiasco hasn’t set a concrete date to drop the album just yet**********************************************************************

I really like this song! Usually I only like your songs or your collaborations with The Weeknd or DJ Khalid, but this song I really like. I hope you come up with a great concept for the video. You and Meek Mill really work well together and did a great job on the song.
